Abstract
Branched-chain olefins are prepared and used as feedstocks in the manufacture of detersive surfactants.
Description
PROCESS FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF SURFACTANTS CONTAINING BRANCH CHAIN ALKYL
GROUPS
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to processes for manufacturing detersive surfactants, especially those containing branched-chain hydrophobic units.
BACKGROUND OF THE IIWENTION
Conventional detersive surfactants comprise molecules having a water solubiIizing substituent (hydrophilic group) and an oleophilic substituent (hydrophobic group). Such surfactants typically comprise hydrophilic groups such as carboxylate, sulfate, sulfonate, amine oxide, polyoxyethylene, and the like, attached to an alkyl, alkenyl or alkaryl hydrophobe usually containing from about 10 to about carbon atoms. Accordingly, the manufacturer of such surfactants must have access to a source of hydrophobe groups to which the desired hydrophile can be 15 attached by chemical means. The earliest source of hydrophobe groups comprised the natural fats and oils, which were converted into soaps (i.e., carboxylate hydrophile) by saponification with base. Coconut oil and palm oil are still used to manufacture soap, as well as to manufacture the alkyl sulfate ("AS") class of surfactants. Other hydrophobes are available from petrochemicals, including 20 alkylated benzene which is used to manufacture alkyl benzene sulfonate surfactants ("LAS").
The literature asserts that certain branched hydrophobes can be used to advantage in the manufacture of alkyl sulfate detersive surfactants; see, for example, U.S. 3,480,556 to deWitt, et al., November 25, 1969. However, it has been determined that the beta-branched surfactants described in the '556 patent are inferior with respect to certain solubility parameters, as evidenced by their Kraft temperatures. It has further been determined that surfactants having branching towards the center of carbon chain of the hydrophobe have much lower Krafl3 temperatwes. See: "The Aqueous Phase Behavior of Surfactants", R.G. Laughlin, Academic Press, N.Y. (1994) p. 347. Accordingly, it has now been determined that such surfactants are preferred for use especially under cool or cold water washing conditions (e.g., 20°C-5°C).
One problem associated with the manufacture of detersive surfactants having hydrophobe groups with mid- or near-mid chain branching is the lack of a ready source of such hydrophobes. By the present invention, a process is described for manufacturing such branched hydrophobes and converting them into mid- or near-mid chain branched surfactants.

One problem associated with the manufacture of detersive surfactants having hydrophobe groups with mid- or near-mid chain branching is the lack of a ready source of such hydrophobes. By the present invention, a process is described for manufacturing such branched hydrophobes and converting them into mid- or near-mid chain branched surfactants.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention encompasses a process for preparing mid- to near mid-chain branched olefins (primarily, methyl branched at or near the mid-chain region).
Such materials are then used as the basic feedstock which provides the hydrophobic portion of branched-chain detersive surfactants.
The process herein is designed to provide branched reaction products which are primarily (85%, or greater) alpha-olefins, and which are then converted into hydrophobes in the Oxo-reaction sequence noted hereinafter. Preferably, such branched alpha-olefins contain from about 11 to about 18 (avg.) total carbon atoms and comprise a linear chain having an average length in the 10-18 region. The branching is predominantly mono-methyl, but some di-methyl and some ethyl branching may occur.
Advantageously, the present process results in little ( 1 %, or less) geminal branching, i.e., little, if any, "quaternary" carbon substitution. Moreover, little (less than about 20%) vicinal branching occurs. Of course, some (ca. 20%) of the overall feedstock used in the subsequent Oxo-process may remain unbranched. Typically, and preferably from the standpoint of cleaning performance and biodegradability, the present process provides alpha-olefins with: an average number of branches (longest chain basis) in the 0.4-2.5 range; of the branched material, there are essentially no branches on carbons 1, 2 or on the terminal (omega) carbon of the longest chain of the branched material.
Following the formation and purification of the branched-chain alpha-olefin, the feedstock is subjected to an Oxo carbonylation process. In this Oxo-step, a catalyst (e.g., conventional cobalt carbonyl; see Kirk Othmer, below) which does not move the double bond from its initial position is used. This avoids the formation of vinylidene intermediates (which ultimately yield less favorable surfactants) and allows the carbonylation to proceed at the #1 and #2 carbon atoms.
All percentages, ratios and proportions herein are by weight, unless otherwise specified.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In one embodiment there is provided a process for preparing mid- to near mid-chain branched alpha olefins, comprising the steps of:
(a) preparing a mixture of CO and H2;
(b) reacting the mixture of CO and HZ in the presence of a catalyst under Fischer-Tropsch conditions to prepare a hydrocarbon mixture comprising said mid- to near mid-chain branched alpha-olefins; and (c) separating said branched alpha-olefins from said hydrocarbon mixture.
2a The present invention thus encompasses, in a process for preparing surfactant precursor hydrophobes from hydrocarbon feedstocks by the conversion of a coal or other hydrocarbon source to a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen and the subsequent conversion of the carbon monoxide and hydrogen into a mixture of linear and branched hydrocarbons, the improvement which comprises abstracting from said mixture of linear and branched hydrocarbons the sub-set of branched hydrocarbons of the general formula:

The foregoing branched hydrophobes can then be converted into the corresponding branched-chain detersive surfactants, in the manner disclosed hereinafter.
Process Synthesis gas (carbon monoxide/hydrogen) can be produced from coal or other hydrocarbon feedstocks such as natural gas and used to build-up various saturated and unsaturated linear, branched and cyclic hydrocarbons using conventional Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) chemistry. Such processes can be used to make a range of hydrocarbons to meet the gasoline, diesel and jet fuel needs. Two points with regard to the present invention are: first, recognition that branching occurs in F-T chemistry through free radical, not carbonium ion chemistry. This leads to isolated methyl branches with no gem-dimethyl, little ethyl and low levels of vicinal-dimethyl branches. Low pressureJtow temp (i.e. wax producing) F-T chemistry builds up methylenes mostly in a linear fashion with typically about 1 methyl branch per carbons. At higher pressures and/or higher temperatures (such as used for gasoline production) 1 methyl branch per 8 carbon atoms can be achieved. The rearrangement to form the methyl branch, which occurs adjacent to catalyst, can be thought of a hydrogen atom shift from the beta methylene to the alpha methylene converting it to the methyl branch. Catalyst (Fe, Co, Ru, etc.) moves from alpha to beta and with insertion of additional methylene(s) between catalyst and the methine group (former beta), isolation of the methyl branch is complete. The second key point is that alpha olefins can be a major product of F-T chemistry.
The present invention makes use of such observations to provide an overall method for preparing mid- or near mid chain branched alpha-olefins which can be converted io the corresponding detersive surfactants, either directly or through the formation of intermediate compounds (e.g., branched-chain alcohols) which are subsequently converted into surfactants. Importantly, the surfactants thus made contain little or no contaminants such as the geminal or vicinal branches or multiple chain branches (i.e., more than about 3 branches). On a weight basis, such contaminants can detract from overall detergency performance andlor biodegradability of the final surfactant products herein.
The overall process herein is as follows:

1) Synthesis gas, a mixture of carbon monoxide/hydrogen is typically generated from coal or natural gas, however petroleum or other hydrocarbon sources could in principle be utilized. Air or oxygen is used to partially burn gas, petroleum, 3 S etc., to a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen. Similarly, coal or coke can undergo the coke-water-gas reaction to form carbon monoxide and H2. The water gas shift reaction can be used to change the carbon monoxide/hydrogen ratio as required. Various standard cleanup steps are included to remove carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, ammonia etc.
Gas + air or 02 --> CO/H2 mixture C + H20 --> CO + H2 coke-water-gas reaction 5 CO + H20 --~ Hz + C02 (water gas shift) 2) Fixher-Tropsch (F-T) chemistry is used to convert synthesis gas into a mostly hydrocarbon mixture. Conditions can be set to produce a mostly linear olefin mixture with a limited number of methyl branches as wcil as some cyclic hydrocarbons. Small amounts of other classes of compounds such as alcohols are also i 0 formed. Their levels can be somewhat controlled by F-T conditions; in any event they can be removed.
COlH2 -~ Syn Fuel Mixture + Branched Alpha-Olefins 3) Distillation and other standard techniques are used to isolate the desired MW hydrocarbon fraction containing alpha-olefins. Molecular sieving can be usod to separate most of the linear alpha-olefins and cyclics from the desired, limited mcthyl-branched, linear alpha-olefnns. Standard methods utilizing aeolites can accomplish the former. Processing with zeoGte sieves can be arrangod to remove iso and anteiso (omega-I) and (omega-2) methyl alpha ole5ns, if so desired. ,Aliphatic hydrocarbons containing 2 geminal Me groups or highly branched aliphatic hydrocarbons (including 20 cycGcs) can be separated from aliphatic hydrocarbons containing Me groups on different C atoms and less branchod aliphatic hydrocarbons by selective adsorption of the latter on a molecular sieve (pore diem. 4.4-S.OA°) and/or from pyroiyzed poly(vinytidene chloride) (Saran) to yield gasoline with improved octane numbers;

Syn Fuel Mixture --~ Branched alpha-Olefins 4) Oxo chemistry (CO/HZ) is used to convert the branched alpha-olefin to the corresponding branched primary alcohol. Any Oxo catalyst which leads directly to alcohols or indirectly through an additions) step of hydrogenation of intermediate aldzhyde can be used. However it is preferable to use catalysts which do not 30 isomerize the double bond of the alpha-olefin prior to carbonylation as is the case using cobalt-carbon monoxide-organophosphine catalysts in the one step process.
Conventional cobalt Oxo catalysts such as cobalt-carbon monoxide used in the two step high pressure process do not isomerize the C~ double bond. The fact these can give approximately equal carbonylation on 1- and 2-carbon positions of the alpha 35 olefin is entirely acceptable. In other words the product mixture would be RCH2CH2CH20H + RCH(CH3~H20H where R is linear fatty chain with limited methyl branching at the mid- or near-mid chain region.
The invention also encompasses, in a process for preparing surfactant precursor hydrophobes from coal or other hydrocarbon feedstocks by the conversion of such feedstocks to a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen and the subsequent conversion of the carbon monoxide and hydrogen into a mixture of linear and branched hydrocarbons, the improvement which comprises abstracting from said mixture of linear and branched hydrocarbons the sub-set of branched hydrocarbons of the general formula:
CH3 i H3 H
CH3(CH2)p-CH(CHZ)q-CH(CH2)r--C=C H2 (II) wherein p is at least about 2, q is 1 to 12, r is greater than or equal to 0 and the sum of p, q and r is at least about 6.

Branched Alpha-olefins ~ Branched Primary Alcohols S) In one aspect of the last step, any standard sulfation technique may be uxd to convert the above branched alcohol to a branched alcohol sulfate.
Examples are sulfur trioxide in a falling film reactor or sulfur trioxide or chlorosulfonic acid in a batch reactor. In any cax the acid mixture is promptly neutralized with caustic soda, or the like.
Branched Primary Alcohol --~ Branched Alkyl Sulfate.
Other fatty alcohol-derived surfactants can also be made by ethoxylating, then sulfating the alcohols. For example, alkyl ethoxyl sulfates (AES), alkyl polyglucosides (APG), etc. can all be prepared. Note that surfactants other than alcohol sulfates or AES may be made by oxidizing said alcohol or its aldehyde intermediate into a carboxylate (i.e., a branched-chain soap). This soap can be an excellent surfactant and/or detergent builder in and of itself. This carboxylate can also be used as a feedstock and converted to branched acyl-aerates, -isethionates, _s~cosinates, -N-methylglucamides or other similar acyl-derived surfactants, using art-disclosed techniques.

Branched-chain surfactants of the type resulting from the present process can be used in all manner of cleaning compositions. Such compositions include, but are not limited to: granule, bar-form and liquid laundry detergents; liquid hand dishwashing compositions; liquid, gel and bar-form personal cleansing products;
shampoos; dentifrices; hard surface cleaners, and the like. Such compositions can contain a variety of conventional detersive ingredients. The following listing of such ingredients is for the convenience of the formulator, and not by way of limitation of the types of ingredients which can be used with the branchod-chain surfactants herein.
The branched-chain surfactants herein can be ~ used in combination with detergency builders. Such builders include, for example, 1-10 micrometer zeolite ~
polycartioxylate builders such as citrate, layered silicate builders such as "SKS-b"
(Hoechst) and phosphate materials, especially sodium tripolyphosphste ("STPP").
Most laundry detergents typically comprix at (cast about 1'/e builder, more typically from about 5% to about 80% builder or mixtures of builders.
Enzymes, such as professes, amylases, lipases, cellulases, peroxidases, and mixtures thereof, can be employed in detergent compositions containing the branched-chain surfactants. Typical detergent compositions comprise from about 3 5 0.001 % to about 5~/e of commercial enzymes.
Detergent compositions can also contain polymeric soil release agents (SRA's). Such materials include, for example, anionic, cationic and non-charged monomer units, especially polyester materials. Preferred materials of this type include oligomeric terephthalate esters, suifonated substantially linear ester oligomers comprising a backbone of terephthaloyl and oxyalkyleneoxy repeat units and phthalolyl-derived sulfonated terminal moieties. A variety of SRA's are described, for example, in U.S. 4,968,451; 4,711,730; 4,721,580; 4,702,857; 4,877,896;
5,415,807;
and in other literature references. Such soil release materials typically comprise from about 0.01 % to about 10% of finished detergent compositions.
Detergent compositions may also optionally contain bleaching compositions comprising a bleaching agent and one or more bleach activators. If present, bleaching agents such as percarbonate or perborate {especially perborate monohydrate "PB I ") typically are used at levels from about 1 % to about 3 0%
of finished detergent compositions. Bleach activators such as nonanoyloxy-benzene sulfonate ("NOBS") and tetraacetyl ethylenediamine ("TAED"), and mixtures thereof, can be used to enhance the bleaching activity of materials such as perborate and percarbonate. If present, the amount of bleach activator will typically be from about 0.1% to about 60% of a bleaching composition comprising a bleaching agent-plus-bleach activator. Other bleaching agents such as the so-called "photoactivated"
bleaches (see U.S. 4,033,718) can also be used. Sulfonated zinc phthalocyanine is an especially preferred photoactivated bleaching agent.
Detergent compositions can also contain clay soil removaUantiredeposition agents such as ethoxylated tetraethylene pentamine; see U.S. 4,597,898. Such materials typically comprise from about 0.01% to about 10% of fully-formulated laundry detergents.
Detergent compositions can also contain from about 0.1% to about 7% of polymeric dispersing agents, which are especially useful in the presence of zeolite and/or layered silicate builders. Such materials are known in the art (see U.S.
3,308,06'x. Such materials include acrylatelmalic-based copolymers, such as described in EP 193,360, as well as polyethylene glycol ("PEG").
Detergent compositions herein can also include various brighteners, dye transfer inhibiting agents (especially polymers of N-vinylpyrrolidone and N
vinylimidazole), suds suppressors (especially silicones), chelating agents such as nitrilotriacetate, ethylenediamine disuccinate, and the like. Such materials will typically comprise from about 0.5% to about 10%, by weight, of fully-formulated cleaning compositions.
Moreover, it is to be understood that the branched-chain surfactants prepared in the manner of the present invention may be used singly in cleaning compositions or in combination with other detersive surfactants. Typically, fully-formulated cleaning compositions will contain a mixture of surfactant types in order to obtain broad-scale cleaning performance over a variety of soils and stains and under a variety of usage conditions. One advantage of the branched-chain surfactants herein is their ability to be readily formulated in combination with other known surfactant types.
Nonlimiting examples of additional surfactants which may be used herein typically at levels from about 1% to about 55%, by weight, include the unsaturated sulfates such as oleyl sulfate, the C I p-C 18 ~kyl ~koxy sulfates ("AExS"; cspeciaUy EO I-? ethoxy sulfates), C l p-C 1 g alkyl alkoxy carboxylates (especisily the BO I -5 ethoxycarboxylates), the C 10-1 g glycerol ethers, the C 10-C 1 g alkyl polyglycosides I 0 and their corresponding sulfated polyglycosides, and C 12-C 18 ~P~-sulfonated fatty acid esters. Nonionic surfactants such as the ethoxylated C 1 p-C I g alcohols and alkyl phenols, (c.g., C 10-C 1 g EO ( 1-i 0) can also be used. If desired, other conventional surfactants such as the C 12-C 1 g betaines and sulfobetaines ("sultaines"), C
amine oxides, and the like, can also be included in the overall compositions.
The C 1 p-C 1 g N-aUcyl poiyhydroxy fatty acid amides can also be used. Typical acamples include the C 12-C 18 N-methylglucamides. See WO 92/06154. Outer sugar-derived surfactants include the N-alkoxy polyhydroxy fatty acid amide, such as C 10-C
1 g N-(3-mcthoxypropy)) glucamide. The N-propyl through N-hexyl C 12-C 1 g glucamides can be used for low sudsing. C 10-C20 conventional soaps may also be used. If high sudsing is desired, the br~artched-chain C 10-C 16 soaps may be used. C 10-C
14 ~kyl benzene sutfonates (LAS), which are often used in laundry detergent compositions, can also be usod with the branchtd surfactants herein.
